I received a Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 from an AT&T rep a year and a half ago, but never used it as a phone. It was just used on wifi with stock ROM for testing purposes. A couple months ago, I wanted to unlock it to use on another network, so I called up their support and received the unlock code. When I put a T-Mobile SIM in the phone and tried the code, I got a message saying Network Unlock Unsuccessful. I've gone through their support both on the phone and in person and ultimately they are either unwilling or unable to assist me (depending who I am speaking to).

I've tried Googling and going through the forums, but really haven't been able to get the phone unlocked. Is there anything I can do, short of paying some local kiosk an inflated fee to get the phone finally unlocked to use on another network?

Thanks.

I was able to unlock my phone by following the instructions in this thread.

I was on At%t as well but they didn't want to give me the code so I followed the instructions provided in the topic whose link is in the previous post and everything went fine
